Re: Perry Nuclear Power Plant NPDES Permit No. 31B00016*ID

Dear Mr. Brown:

I am writing in reference to your comment letter of June 20, 2007.

Per your request, we have extended the expiration date to December 31, 2011. Regardingdiscontinuation of zinc at 004 outfall, at least one year monitoring data need to be submitted tothe agency. Upon review, if further monitoring is deemed not required, an agency initiatedmodification of the permit would be done. The PQL language for TRC (Total ResidualChlorine) has been added as Item J in Part II of the permit.

If you have any question, feel free to contact Mike Sevens of our North East District Office at800-686-6330 or Raj Chakrabarti of our Central Office at 614-644-2027.

PART III - GENERAL CONDITIONS

1. DEFINITIONS

"Daily discharce" means the discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hourperiod that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants withlimitations expressed in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutantdischarged over the day. For pollutants with limitations expressed in other units of measurement, the"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day.

"Average weekly" discharge limitation means the highest allowable average of "daily discharges" over acalendar week, calculated as the sum of all "daily discharges" measured during a calendar week dividedby the number of "daily discharges" measured during that week. Each of the following 7-day periods isdefined as a calendar week: Week 1 is Days I - 7 of the month; Week 2 is Days 8 - 14; Week 3 is Days15 - 21; and Week 4 is Days 22 - 28. If the "daily discharge" on days 29, 30 or 31 exceeds the "averageweekly" discharge limitation, Ohio EPA may elect to evaluate the last 7 days of the month as Week 4instead of Days 22 - 28. Compliance with fecal coliform bacteria or E coli bacteria limitations shall bedetermined using the geometric mean.

"Average monthly" discharge limitation means the highest allowable average of "daily discharges" over acalendar month, calculated as the sum of all "daily discharges" measured during a calendar monthdivided by the number of "daily discharges" measured during that month. Compliance with fecalcoliform bacteria or E coli bacteria limitations shall be determined using the geometric mean.

"85 percent removal" means the arithmetic mean of the values for effluent samples collected in a periodof 30 consecutive days shall not exceed 15 percent of the arithmetic mean of the values for influentsamples collected at approximately the same times during the same period.

"Absolute Limitations" Compliance with limitations having descriptions of "shall not be less than," "norgreater than," "shall not exceed," "minimum," or "maximum" shall be determined from any single valuefor effluent samples and/or measurements collected.

"Net concentration" shall mean the difference betweenthe concentration of a given substance in a sampletaken of the discharge and the concentration of the same substances in a sample taken at the intake whichsupplies water to the given process. For the purpose of this definition, samples that are taken todetermine the net concentration shall always be 24-hour composite samples made up of at least sixincrements taken at regular intervals throughout the plant day.

Part III General Conditions (Con't) Pag00e 133IB00016*ID

"Net Load" shall mean the difference between the load of a given substance as calculated from a sampletaken of the discharge and the load of the same substance in a sample taken at the intake which supplieswater to given process. For purposes of this definition, samples that are taken to determine the netloading shall always be 24-hour composite samples made up of at least six increments taken at regularintervals throughout the plant day.

"MGD" means million gallons per day.

"mg/i" means milligrams per liter.

"ugl" means micrograms per liter.

"ng/l" means nanograms per liter.

"S.U." means standard pH unit.

"kg/day" means kilograms per day.

"Reporting Code" is a five digit number used by the Ohio EPA in processing reported data. The reportingcode does not imply the type of analysis used nor the sampling techniques employed.

"Quarterly (]/Quarter) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done in the months of March,June, August, and December, unless specificially identified otherwise in the Effluent Limitations andMonitoring Requirements table.

"Yearly (1/Year) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done in the month of September,unless specificially identified otherwise in the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements table.

"Semi-annual (2/Year) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done during the months of Juneand December, unless specificially identified otherwise.

"Winter" shall be considered to be the period from November 1 through April 30.

"Bypass". means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of the treatment facility.

"Summer" shall be considered to be the period from May 1 through October 3 1.

"Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatmentfacilities which would cause them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of naturalresources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damagedoes not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.

"Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance withtechnology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of thepermittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperlydesigned treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or carelessor improper operation.

Part HI General Conditions (Con't) Pa3e 1431B00016*ID

"Sewage sludge" means a solid, semi-solid, or liquid residue generated during the treatment of domesticsewage in a treatment works as defined in section 6111.01 of the Revised Code. "Sewage sludge"includes, but is not limited to, scum or solids removed in primary, secondary, or advanced wastewatertreatment processes. "Sewage sludge" does not include ash generated during the firing of sewage sludgein a sewage sludge incinerator, grit and screenings generated during preliminary treatment of domesticsewage in a treatment works, animal manure, residue generated during treatment of animal manure, ordomestic septage.

"Sewage sludge weight" means the weight of sewage sludge, in dry U.S. tons, including admixtures suchas liming materials or bulking agents. Monitoring frequencies for sewage sludge parameters are based onthe reported sludge weight generated in a calendar year (use the most recent calendar year data when theNPDES permit is up for renewal).

"Sewage sludge fee weight" means the weight of sewage sludge, in dry U.S. tons, excluding admixturessuch as liming materials or bulking agents. Annual sewage sludge fees, as per section 3745.1 I(Y) of theOhio Revised Code, are based on the reported sludge fee weight for the most recent calendar year.

Where containment units areemployed, such units may be emptied by pumps or ejectors; however, these shall bemanually activated.

(b) Flapper-type drain valves shall not be used to drain containment areas. Valves used forthe drainage of containment areas should, as far as is practical, be of manual, open-and-closed design.

(c) If facility drainage is not engineered as above, the final discharge of all in-facility stormsewers shall be equipped to be equivalent with a diversion system that could, in the eventof an uncontrolled spill of Section 313 water priority chemicals, return the spilled material tothe facility..

(d) Records shall be kept of the frequency and estimated volume (in gallons) of dischargesfrom containment areas.

(6) Facility site runoff other than from areas covered by (1), (2), (3) or (4). Other areas of the facility(those not addressed in paragraphs (1), (2), (3) or (4)), from which runoff which may containSection 313 water priority chemicals or spills of Section 313 water priority chemicals could causea discharge shall incorporate the necessary drainage or other control features to preventdischarge of spilled or improperly disposed material and ensure the mitigation of pollutants inrunoff or leachate.
